Richards, a 19-year collegiate coaching veteran, brings a wealth of success to Jackson State from her previous tenure at Mercer and Alabama A&M. At Alabama A&M, she led the Bulldogs to nearly 100 wins and six appearances in the Southwestern Athletic Conference Tournament, including a notable run to the semifinals of the 2019-20 event.
During her time in Huntsville, Ala., the AAMU women's basketball program reeled in six all-conference honors, including a pair of first-team selections. Alabama A&M turned in a trio of winning seasons with her at the helm and put together an eight-game turnaround that bridged her first and second seasons.
Richards began her coaching career as a graduate assistant coach during Louisville's successful run to a 26-10 record and an appearance in the NCAA Sweet Sixteen. She then took on the role of head coach at Saint Augustine's, leading the Falcons to a 33-24 record across two seasons, including an 18-10 record and a Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association Western Division championship in 2009-10.
